CONSTANT VELOCITY AXLE INSTALLATION TIPS
1. PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, CAREFULLY MATCH THE REPLACEMENT UNIT WITH THE OLD CV AXLE TO VERIFY THE PROPER APPLICATION. PAY ATTENTION TO:
- OVERALL COMPRESSED LENGTH
- INNER AND OUTER JOINT LENGTH AND SPLINE COUNT
2. DURING INSTALLATION, DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO HANG FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL/TRANSAXLE AT ANY TIME. BY DOING SO, THE INBOARD JOINT CAN BE DAMAGED AND CAUSE THE AXLE NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
3. ANY AXLE WITH A CIRCLIP ON THE INNER SPLINE SHOULD BE CHECKED TO ENSURE THAT NO PIECES OF METAL ARE REMAINING IN THE DIFFERENTIAL.
4. EXAMINE THE TRANSAXLE SEAL.
5. IF THE INNER JOINT OF AN AXLE HAS BEEN PULLED APART OR HAS A RIPPED/STRETCHED BOOT, CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE MOTOR MOUNT, SUSPENSION PARTS AND ALIGNMENT. ***WARRANTY IS VOID ON UNITS WITH TORN BOOTS ***
6. ALWAYS TORQUE THE SPINDLE NUT TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION FOR THE VEHICLE. CAUTION: DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO TORQUE THE SPINDLE NUT SPLINE THREADS AND OUTER JOINT MAY BE DAMAGED WHICH WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
